Résumé:

"This book examines the architectural traditions that evolved to accommodate the institutions of Islam as the religion swept across North Africa, southern Europe and east as far as China following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 C.E. With its source in the courtyard house, the mosque as place of worship and centre of the community adopted a range of forms as Islam came up against the traditions of Egypt, Persia and China and employed architects and craftsmen from Spain to India and beyond."--Jacket.
